From the Paper
"Business organizations need to perform changes in order to survive. Organizations need to adjust to the changing environment as well as to new technology, changes in role?s size and other factors. Such changes might stimulate some resistance and in some cases this resistance might lead to prevent or reduce the performance of changes. A change is being performed in order to cancel a certain situation and lead to a new and different one instead. A successful change, in any area, is composed of three main stages: the ?Thawing? stage of behavioral patterns, values and stands. The ?pass? stage toward new orders and relationships- a ?freezing? stage of a new situation. Each stage is connected to the other (Lewin, Kurt, 1951)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the philosophical arguments about 'free will' and 'human agency,' which both focus on the capacity of human beings to act on their own. The paper looks at Marxism with regards to free will and human agency and describes the concept of alienation. The paper discusses the main classes in capitalism; the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The paper also compares free market capitalism to Marxism and contrasts their approaches to free will and human agency.
Outline:
Marxism and Free Will/ Human Agency
The Alienated Individual
The Individual and His/Her Social Class
Free Market Capitalism and Free Will/ Human Agency
Comparison of Marxism and Free Market Capitalism and Their Views on Free Will or Human Agency
From the Paper
"A similar concept is 'human agency'. Human agency states that human beings do in fact make decisions on their own and apply them accordingly to their own situations. Whether by free will or due to some other consequences that drive human beings to act is not the question. What is important is the claim that human beings can be agents of change. They are capable of altering their own conditions. Because people are seen as decision-makers, they are now regarded as under the obligation to think and apply value judgments to the consequences of their actions. Human beings are now to be held responsible for whatever decisions they make. It must be noted that 'human agency' does not merely imply the ability of the individual, rather the capacity of a group of individuals or a collective unity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_agency)."

From the Paper
"Arab-Israeli relations are influenced by problems between the two groups extending back centuries, and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 today remains a sore point in the Arab world. Arab-Israeli relations can be seen as a majority/minority relationship, but interestingly, this relationship offers one configuration in the Middle East and another in the United States. In the Middle East, the Israelis are the minority population and are surrounded by Arab nations. In the United States, the Jewish population is much larger than the Arab population and more visible as well. Tensions in the Middle East are great, while in the United States those tensions are much less given the American position of tolerance of differing opinions and intolerance of violence.
The international political economy of the Middle East is ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the research is designed to examine if Israeli pupils and immigrant pupils perceive the school atmosphere and immigrant integration differently, and if immigrant and Israeli pupils differ in the intensity of their relationship in their grasp of school atmosphere and integration. The research involved 303 junior high school pupils, aged 12-15, in two schools; one school had a majority immigrant pupil population, whereas the other had relatively few immigrants. The author reports that pupils evaluated themselves in terms of their adjustment to school, their attitudes towards immigration, and the degree to which they identify with the State of Israel. The paper reports that the greater the number of immigrants in a school, the greater their sense of power, to the point where they are unwilling to pay the price for friendship with Israelis.

From the Paper
"The education system and schools were chosen to bear the brunt of this task of merging the communities because pupils spent so much time there and because of the school?s influence in teaching language, the curriculum and teacher activities as well as peer pressure. The merger was formulated and implemented in the education system via the curriculum and teachers via full assimilation, discipline, adoption of the norms, rules of behavior and values held by the majority by the minority in order for the latter to resemble the former."

Abstract
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of the most divisive contests in the history of the Middle East. Unfortunately, Israel has been a hub of violence since its inception in 1948. This paper examines the history of the conflict and debates how best to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Outline
Israel Should Withdraw from Palestinian Territories
Israel Must Reoccupy Palestinian Territories
Creating a Palestinian State Could Resolve the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict
Creating a Palestinian State Would Not Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Palestinians Must Fight for Equal Rights
Palestinians Must Reject Terrorism as a Weapon of War
Economic Development Can Facilitate Peace Between Israelis and Palestinians
From the Paper
"President George W. Bush has referred to the "legitimate aspirations" of the Palestinian people for an independent state. But people who embrace suicide bombings and choose career killers as their leaders--as the Palestinians have done--have no legitimate political aspirations. Writer William F. Buckley, for all of his many faults, is credited with a turn of phrase that eloquently captures this fact. Speaking about an African country's desire for independence, he quipped, "They'll be ready for democracy when they stop eating each other." Although he was referring to the practice of literal cannibalism, the same thing applies metaphorically to the Palestinians. They can be trusted with a representative government only when they stop worshipping murderers."

Abstract
Since the recognition of Israeli as an independent state in 1948 by the United Nations, the country has endured conflicts with its Arab neighbours who refuse to accept its legitimacy as a state. This paper traces the Arab-Israeli conflict, from 1948 through the Six-Day War and the 1973. The paper focuses on the 1977 Camp David agreement between Israel and Egypt, where, for the first time, an Arab state formally accepted Israeli's statehood and laid the foundations for negotiations to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict which continues to the present day.
From the Paper
"During September 1977, Israeli foreign minister Moshe Dyan and Egyptian deputy prime minister Hassan Tuhami met in Morocco. Tuhami said that Sadat was serious about peace and believed it was only possible if Israel withdrew from all the occupied lands, including East Jerusalem. Dyan believed that Begin and Sadat needed to meet to discuss the issues and sort out their differences.
Sadat was serious about peace. Decades of war had left his country devastatingly poor, and Israel could not be beat through military means without raining down destruction on the Arab world. He felt that if peace could not be reached soon, a new war would start. He also might have had the feeling that time was not on his side. He had had several heart attacks and was getting older."

The Arab-Israeli Conflict, 2002.

Abstract
This paper presents an interesting look into the Arab-Israeli conflict. It covers the conflict from the early 1900s, up to and including the current Intifada that began in 2000. It also discusses such subjects as the historical background of European Zionism, the emergence of Zionist terrorism during the ill-fated British Mandate and the birth of Israel as the result of a UN vote. According to this author, it is the continued Israeli occupation and not, the refusal of many Arab countries, or of the Palestinians, to recognize the right of Israel to exist, that is at the root of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
From the Paper
"Since 1967, the Palestinians have become bitterly reconciled to the existence of the state of Israel. They have no choice but to do so: Israel is the only power in the region with nuclear weapons. It also has the US for its major backer. (Each year Israel receives between $4 billion and $5 billion a year, mostly in military aid, from American taxpayers.) What Palestinians have demanded since 1967, and are still demanding, is that
Israel withdraws from the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, so that the Palestinian state envisaged in the UN resolution of 1947 can be created. In the meantime, they live in a ?protracted state of political subjugation and economic dependence? (Morris 568).
The most critical development in recent years is the Israeli policy of settling the occupied territories with Jewish families. Settlement expansion into the occupied territories was first advocated by the Movement for the Whole Land of Israel and has been official policy in Israel since the rise of the Menachem Begin?s Likud (Revisionist Zionist) party to power in May 1977. Between 1977 and 1984, one hundred new settlements were built on occupied land (Morris 567). By 2001, as many as 400,000 Israelis had been settled in areas of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and Jerusalem and its environs. As a result of the illegal settlements, public opinion in many countries has grown much more sensitive to the Palestinians? plight. During the 1970s and early 1980s, the Palestinian cause was not always highly regarded outside the Muslim world on account of its resort to sensational acts of terrorism. However, by the mid-1980s, the PLO was viewed increasingly as representing the victims of the conflict. Many informed people have since come to the conclusion that the well-armed and financed Israelis are no longer simply defending the right of their tiny little state to exist, but are actively using their powers to oppress the Palestinians and prevent them from founding the state to which they are entitled."

The Structure/Agency Argument, 2003.
A look at the sociological structure/agency debate through an comparison of six theories.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the idea of the chicken and the egg is one of interdependency, one cannot exist without the other and how the structure/ agency argument is one of the main issues debated in sociology today. It explores both perspectives by looking at sociologists that believe structures in society that shape the way that individuals act and those that support the agency argument who believe individuals create and shape society. These perspectives are contrasted with interpretist theories, which do see structure and agency as interdependent.
From the Paper
"Talcott Parsons saw society as existing on many levels, starting with ?values and choices?, then ?roles and institutions?, which leads onto the complex social structures of society. He developed a ?voluntaristic theory?, this is the idea that social order is maintained through individual choice (or volunteering) to follow social norms and values. Parsons felt that sociology should study people?s choice within the constraints of their societies. To identify what constrains choice, he uses the idea of the ?unit act?. The unit act consists of the actor, or the individual, they have goals, or desired outcomes that motivate the action. There are means that are available, which are used to meet the desired end. However there are conditions, which constrain and set the context for the action. Parsons argues that the individual unit act of person is linked to, and influenced by others individual unit acts."

The Farm Service Agency, 2002.
An introduction to the Farm Service Agency, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Abstract
This paper provides an insight into the Farm Service Agency which was established in 1994, essentially as a continuation of the former Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). It examines how the ASCS had long been administered by the Farmer's Home Administration (FmHA), a Depression-era agency which managed farm loans. It looks at how farm loan programs were created in response to well-established characteristics of agriculture-- the uncertainties of weather and other factors that influence crop prices, the need of farmers for operating loans and the tendency of farm commodities to come on the market all at one time (e.g., harvest time), with a resultant glut effect on prices.

From the Paper
"The FSA is organized into and administered through so-called County Offices, though each office may be responsible for several adjacent counties. Individual County Offices are staffed primarily by employees who formerly served in the ASCS. In addition, however, some offices have an Agricultural Loan Officer attached, or have regular scheduled appointment hours with a visiting Agricultural Loan Officer. The Southwest Farm Advisor (1999) online fact sheet recommends that borrowers try to work directly with the Agricultural Loan Officer, since the ex-ASCS staff members at County Offices "simply are not up to speed" on current loan procedures."

Abstract
The paper explains that the current Israeli government's position regarding Israeli/Palestinian violence violence over the past few months continues to be based upon Israel's determination to punish Hamas terrorists who carry out attacks on Israel and to target for assassination Hamas leaders who advocate and support such attacks. The paper discusses how this policy has been controversial, has been condemned as state-sponsored terrorism by many Palestinians and presents even more dilemmas for the new Israeli government now that Hamas has won the recent elections and controls the Palestinian government.

Abstract
This paper examines the U.S. Department of Defense Intelligence Agency, or DIA, whose original purpose was to coordinate the intelligence activities of the military services. The paper further describes some of the problems encountered by the agency due to its secretive function and competition among other intelligence organizations. These problems are analyzed in light of the agencies purpose and military affiliation. The paper concludes by illustrating the DIA's renaissance in the mid-1990's with the appointment of John M. Deutch as its new Director of Central Intelligence.
From the Paper
"The DIA's history is a speckled one at best. Initially it was a rather obscure organization with very little real power. The reason for this was because it was supposed to be a coordinator of information gathered by other agencies, and even though the agencies were military in nature, as was the DIA, there was still a myriad of problems in gathering the respective data from those individual agencies. The agencies jealously protected their information, thereby rendering moot the DIA's attempts at clarification and enhancement of the data it was charged with coordinating."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how the advent of e-business has caused many businesses to re-examine many legal issues regarding international trade, particularly in the area of dispute resolution. This paper briefly examines how e-business and the global economy have changed the way many think about agency law.
Outline:
Applications of Agency Law in the Business Environment
Types of Business Entities
E-business and the Global Legal Environment
From the Paper
"Agency law represents a specific set of concepts and doctrines that are applicable to a number of situations in which a person's conduct can have ramifications for the legal position of an entity (Demott, 2006). The actions of a single employee can have an impact on agency liability. Agency law defines the circumstances under which a relationship can be classified as an agency relationship, rather than as the actions of individuals. This can arise from the creation of rights and obligations regarding a transaction, the agent's knowledge of the action, and amount of liability that the agency derives from the acts of the individual. "
